After a successful jewel heist, Giuliano Gemma decides to keep the entire loot from his brother, who organized it, since it also resulted in the deaths of many of his competitors. Klaus Kinski is the jilted brother, and he soon comes looking for his money. However, Gemma will have none of it so Kinski kidnaps and threatens to rape his girlfriend in front of him. Gemma spills the location of the jewels while she turns out to really be working with Kinski. They cut the tendons in his shooting hand and leave him for dead, but he is nursed back to health by a friendly nearby rancher girl. They start up a new romance while he plots his revenge. Really a spaghetti western masquerading as a Eurocrime film, never quite succeeds in either genre. Rita Hayworth is a hoot as the whiskey-swigging mother of the two brothers.
